Did not enjoy nor find useful. Just seemed like a high schooler who read Howard Zin and is reciting all the ways America is horrible. Very emo or goth or nihilistic or just bleak. Not a fun or thought provoking read.

This *1000. It's a supreme failure on our educational system and society at large that most Americans don't think about our government and our rights in these terms. The Constitution actually takes away our rights. It has to, i

Thats a ridiculous comment. The thing about the space race is we were getting are ass kicked, then said 'Oh the finish line is actually this. Oh look we kicked your ass " It was like we lost the first 9 events of a decathalon an

Been impeached twice. What do you envision a third doing?

Agree. Seemed more like something that should go direct to streaming instead of big screen. Decent, not amazing.

It boggles my mind that the government has privatized currency to these people. Crazy-person-but-actually-really practical-idea: Nationalize one if these networks. Maybe Discover. The US government should provide us digital currency. The

Sustainability? What resource will we run out of if we continue to piss in traditional urinals? Has bullshit marketing terms invaded scientific papers now as well?

My favorite quote for 10 years was from my 1993 college math professor: You will never go wrong attributing a pithy quote to Benjamin Franklin or Mark Twain. And then the internet became popular.

One if the worst discussion I've seen on HN: I did this... Well I did this... My experience was .. Me me me... anecdote anecdote anecdote. Nothing but humblebrags, dismissals of others experiences with their experiences and reminiscin

Not trying to go ad hominem, but that's a very ignorant statement. 1. Which ones? I used to be able to stereotype with the best of them, but I cant quickly come up with any protected class that is assigned as teetotalers. 2. Saying y

But here's the thing, AI will be the source of truth soon. For many it already is. The dumber we (humanity in general) get, the smarter AI appears to the average person. You'll be a heretic or just deemed crazy if you call BS o

Dude, you know what he meant. Don't be the internet pedant. No need to be the protector of your class, especially one so inconsequential as "literal 60 year olds". Instead of "old person" he put a number on it. (Cue

You are learning, but you haven't learned. You didn't build a nest egg, you saved for a down payment. You didn't rebuild your nest egg, you created a sinking fund for your home. You praise yourself for not treating your home

So a random poster makes an assertion and rather than Google it and verify it yourself you throw out a request for another random poster to concur? And that concurrence you will take at face value and then believe the original assertion?

>>>Spending 18x to 20x more on something that looks exactly the same and serves the same purpose just wasn’t logical to me. That's up there with people who brag about only smoking when they drink and vegetarians for moral reas

Agree. Further, not sure if 'black and white' is an idiom about clarity or an attempt to inject race into it.

Disagree. Like financial independence, physical fitness in later years is something you can work towards and is well within nearly everyone's reach. Granted, both take focus and long term discipline which people who lack both chalk up

Directly? I do not think it means what you think it means. Hate the guy all you want, even for this, but don't try and juice it another 20% with emotional words that are ultimately incorrect.

In the 80's and 90's I was be inspired by every NASA plan they announced--new celestial body being explored, new type of craft, new rocket, new telescope. In the naughts and early 10's I still had a sense of hope and aww but

I love that we ruined our escape character in language. We now need a new way to convey to listeners that our words need to be taken literally. Perhaps the VBA method and just double the 'literally's: I took a flaming shot of teq

'Walkable' has been heavily influenced by the car culture we live in. Too many, crossing an intersection with a traffic light makes that commute unwalkable. In my suburbia, going from one shop to another 5 doors down requires driv

Further the 'hate-' prefix in an accusation makes it one I immediately tune out. It's just a manipulative word that lets you incite people while not actually revealing what was said.
